About Leslie
Leslie M. Brown is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and career or life changes.
Her manner is warm and often lightened with a sense of humor to help conversations feel more natural. Leslie focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship first. She avoids labels and treats each person with sensitivity.
Background and approach
Sessions are organized around clear, practical goals and a caring therapeutic connection. Her work brings together cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns when relevant.
The mix is chosen to match each person’s needs rather than follow a single script. Leslie has helped people coping with trauma, religious or spiritual harm, workplace stress, post-traumatic symptoms, traumatic brain injury, and discrimination or equity-related challenges. She also supports concerns like parenting strain, intimacy issues, ADHD, and body image struggles.
She aims to tailor sessions to what the client wants to accomplish and pays close attention to the therapist-client alliance. Leslie works collaboratively, offers practical steps between sessions, and helps people find new ways to manage difficult emotions and rebuild connection.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Leslie uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication habits, helping people notice interaction cycles and learn practical skills to reduce conflict and rebuild connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients accept difficult feelings while taking steps that align with their values, which can ease anxiety and move toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect, giving people space to be heard and to find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and comfort. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan remains helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues for communication and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options allow scheduling flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
